Divine Comedy - When The Lights Go Out All Over Europe lyrics

Twilight turns from amethyst

To deep and deeper blue;

We've got an hour or two

Before it's time to go...

Let's go see a movie show...

Jean can't choose between the two

'Cos Jules is hip

And Jim is cool,

And so they live together

With the trees and birds and little girls

Who play upon poor Jean-Claude's nerves 'til

Finally he strokes Claire's knee;

And when she asks of his ambition,

Jean-Pierre replies

"My mission is to become eternal and to die"

Heaven knows the reason why!

When the lights go out all over Europe

I forget about old Hollywood,

'Cos Doris Day couldn't make me cheer up

Quite the way those French girls always could.

Jean Seberg: Et puisque je suis mechante avec toi c'est la preuve que je =

ne suis pas amoureuse de toi

Jean Paul Belmondo: On dit qu'il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

JS: Si je t'aimais... oh c'est trop complicé

JPB: Au contraire, il n'y a pas d'amour malheureux

JS: Je veux que les gens s'occupant pas de moi et puis je suis =

independente. Peut etre que tu m'aimes?

JPB: C'est ce que lu crois, mais tu ne l'ai pas

JS: C'est pour ca que je t'ai denonce

JPB: Je te suis superieur

JS: Maintenant tu es force de partir

JPB: Tu es single, c'est lamentable comme raisonnment

When the lights go out all over Europe

I forget about old MGM,

'Cos Paramount was never Universal

And Warners went out way back when

Those lights go out all over Europe

I forget about old Hollywood,

'Cos Doris Day could never make me cheer up

Quite the way those French girls always could.
